Basics

• CLI: npm package vercel, then you can do things like
  • vercel env [list|add|...]
  • vercel dev runs the thing locally at localhost
  • vercel deploy does a deployment
• General
  • A Git repo is a really good way to do deployments
    • deployment updates automatically when pushed to main (or not main)
• Website
  • you can add env. variables, including hidden ones (won’t be show in the UI)

Deployment protection

TODO

Using private dependencies

How do I use private dependencies with Vercel?

• TL;DR create a GitHub/GitLab PAT, then in requirements.txt do the usual git+....user:PAT@....git
• Any way I can avoid committing my PAT to requirements? TODO+
  • Pipfile can do env. vars, requirements.txt doesn’t seem to
• Linked GitHub repo and requirements.txt - General - Render not working for me:
  • package-name @ git+https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com/user/package-name.git@main
